SPECIAL NOTICE:

Exposure to vibrations through prolonged use of gasoline powered hand tools could cause blood vessel or nerve damage in the fingers, hands, and joints of people prone to circulation disorders or abnormal swelling. Prolonged use in cold weather has been linked to blood vessel damage in otherwise healthy people. If symptoms occur such as numbness, pain, loss of strength, change in skin color or texture, or loss of feeling in the fingers, hands, or joints, discontinue the use of this tool and seek medical attention. An antivibration system does not guarantee the avoidance of these problems. Users who operate power tools on a continual and regular basis must monitor closely their physical condition and the condition of this tool.

THROTTLE LEVER

The THROTTLE LEVER is used to select the desired engine speed and to stop the engine.

Move the throttle lever to the position for full speed operation. Move the throttle lever to the position for idle speed. To stop the engine, move the throttle lever to the STOP position.

PRIMER BUTTON

The PRIMER BUTTON removes air from the carburetor and fuel lines and fills them with fuel.

This allows you to start the engine with fewer pulls on the starter rope. Activate primer button by pressing it and allowing it to return to its original position.

CHOKE LEVER

The CHOKE helps to supply fuel to the engine to aid in cold starting. Activate the choke by moving the choke lever to the FULL CHOKE position. After engine attempts to start, move the choke lever to the HALF CHOKE position.

Once engine starts, move choke lever to the

RUN position.

OPERATING TIPS

S While vacuuming or blowing debris, hold the unit with the muffler side facing away from your body and clothes (see illustration above).

S

To reduce the risk of hearing loss associated with sound level(s), hearing protection is required.

-- 5 --

S

To reduce the risk of injury associated with contacting rotating parts, stop the engine before installing or removing attachments. Do not operate without guard(s) in place.

S

Operate power equipment only at reasonable hours--not early in the morning or late at night when people might be disturbed. Comply with times listed in local ordinances. Usual recommendations are 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.,

Monday though Saturday.

S

To reduce noise levels, limit the number of pieces of equipment used at any one time.

S

To reduce noise levels, operate power blowers at the lowest possible throttle speed to do the job.

S

Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before blowing.

S

In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces or use a mister attachment when water is available.

S

Conserve water by using power blowers instead of hoses for many lawn and garden applications, including areas such as gutters, screens, patios, grills, porches, and gardens.

STARTING POSITION

BEFORE STARTING ENGINE

WARNING: Be sure to read the fuel information in the safety rules before you begin. If you do not understand the safety rules, do not attempt to fuel your unit. Call

1-800-554-6723

.

FUELING ENGINE

WARNING: Remove fuel cap slowly when refueling.

This engine is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline. Before operation, gasoline must be mixed with a good quality synthetic 2-cycle air-cooled engine oil designed to be mixed at a ratio of 40:1. Poulan/Weed Eater brand synthetic oil is recommended. Mix gasoline and oil at a ratio of 40:1. A 40:1 ratio is obtained by mixing 3.2 ounces of oil with 1 gallon of unleaded gasoline. DO NOT USE automotive oil or boat oil. These oils will cause engine damage. When mixing fuel, follow instructions printed on container. Once oil is added to gasoline, shake container momentarily to assure that the fuel is thoroughly mixed. Always read and follow the safety rules relating to fuel before fueling your unit.

IMPORTANT

Experience indicates that alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture which leads to separation and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine while in storage. To avoid engine problems, empty the fuel system before storage for 30 days or longer. Drain the gas tank, start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next season.

Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.

TO STOP THE ENGINE

D

To stop the engine, move the throttle lever to the STOP position.

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

WARNING: You MUST make sure the tubes are secure before using the unit.

D

Fuel engine. Move at least 10 feet (3 me-

D ters) away from the fueling site.

Hold the unit in the starting position as shown. Make sure the blower end is directed away from people, animals, glass, and solid objects.

-- 6 --

Vacuum

WARNING: When starting engine, hold the unit as illustrated. Do not set unit on any surface except a clean, hard area when starting engine or while engine is running. Debris such as gravel, sand, dust, grass, etc. could be picked up by the air intake and thrown out through the discharge opening, damaging the unit or property, or causing serious injury to bystanders or the operator.

STARTING A COLD ENGINE (or a warm engine after running out of fuel)

1. Move throttle lever to the position.

2. Move choke lever to the FULL CHOKE position.

3. Slowly press the primer button 8 times.

Throttle Lever Primer Button

Choke Lever

4. Pull starter rope sharply until engine attempts to run, but no more than 5 pulls (below 30_ F, 8 pulls).

NOTE:

If engine attempts to start before the

5 th pull, go to next step immediately.

5. Move the choke lever to the HALF

CHOKE position.

6. Pull the starter rope sharply until the engine runs, but no more than 5 pulls (below

30_ F, 10 pulls).

7. After a 5 second warm--up, move the choke lever to the RUN position.

8. Allow the unit to run for 30 more seconds at the RUN position before moving the throttle lever to position.

If engine has not started after 5 pulls (at HALF

CHOKE), repeat STARTING A COLD ENGINE procedure. If engine still does not start, proceed to STARTING A FLOODED ENGINE.

9. To stop the engine, move the throttle lever to the STOP position.

For Parts Call K&T 606-678-9623 or 606-561-4983

STARTING A WARM ENGINE

1. Move throttle lever to the position.

2. Pull starter rope sharply until engine runs, but no more than 5 pulls.

NOTE

: If engine has not started, pull starter rope 5 more pulls. If engine still does not run, it is probably flooded.

3. To stop the engine, move the throttle lever to the STOP position.

STARTING A FLOODED ENGINE

Flooded engines can be started by placing the choke lever in the RUN position. Move throttle lever to the fast position ; then, pull rope until engine starts. After engine starts, move the to allow throttle lever to the slow position engine to idle.

Starting could require pulling the starter rope many times depending on how badly the unit is flooded.

If unit still doesn’t start refer to the TROUBLE-

SHOOTING TABLE or call 1-800-554-6723 .

MAINTENANCE

CLEAN AIR FILTER
